set date mask not working in Script for some line items

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are using SET DATE MASK 'DD-MMM-YYYY' to print a date field for some line items. We are getting the correct format e.g. 31-Dec-2006 for most of the line items. But for some of the line items the format displayed is 31/12/2006.

The field which are displaying is of type LIKP-WADAT_IST.

If any one knows why this could be happening pls let us know.

There are 2 areas you need to check:

1. User Profile - is your date format set to "DD.MM.YYYY" ?

2. If user profile already set, try to issue

SET COUNTRY ' ' in your smart forms in the initialization

where &T_TDEL_BL-WADAT_IST& and &w_inv_date& are the date fields.
